    What do you mean "Rear axle bolt"? U-bolts, u-joint bolts? Or are you referring to the rear axle nut?
    If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

    If I was doing a job on a 35, I would not torque those axle nuts more than 100 to 110 foot pounds. I would also use a thread lock. Threads are worn and can strip easy. Walt.
